Victorian Silver Lucky Horseshoe and Riding Crop Brooch
This Victorian silver brooch combines two horseshoes and a riding crop motif in a single bar-form design. The horseshoes are interlinked across the centre of the piece, a traditional symbol of good luck, while the crop forms the horizontal base. It offers a characterful piece of sporting and equestrian jewellery from the Victorian period.
The riding crop has a spiral-twisted shaft and a faceted terminal knob at one end, with a fine chain-effect cord looping over the horseshoes and across the crop. The horseshoes are finished with a smooth, rounded profile, and the overall design is compact and well balanced. The piece is described as silver, and no maker’s mark or brand is attributed to it in this entry.
